Closing Celebration
The Goodwill Games' Closing Celebration will take place during the evening of Sunday, August 2, from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Global Pavilion. The Celebration will highlight the special moments left by the Goodwill Games on the New York community. While the closing technically represents the end of the athletic competition, it also signifies a rebirth of the Goodwill Games in terms of its global importance and new mission of benefiting children in future iterations.
There will be live, acoustic/semi-acoustic musical performances by an array of Warner Music Group artists that may include Trisha Yearwood, Children's Cultural Groups, as well as appearances by athletes and celebrities. Video segments will be intricately woven in live performances on stage to emotionally chronicle the Summer of Goodwill, and how its occurrence has impacted children's lives.
The finale of the Closing event will feature Gerald Levin and Ted Turner, who, flanked by top athletes, celebrities, and music performers, will comment on the larger purpose of the Games: "to benefit children worldwide", and provide charitable partners with their respective Goodwill Games contributions.
